What is an island design? It's an ILace center with either a French or Super Fine Swiss lace perimeter--hence the term 'island.' The lace is thinner and finer than the ILace so it's great for using at the perimeter as a 'transition' material to the ILace. As you can see from the close up of the top of Reubin's head, the ILace completely covers any knots and it looks like the hair is coming right out of your scalp. He's a master with this design. Some people go with all ILace no lace French or Super Fine Swiss lace. And some also just put the lace on the front hair line. Since Ruebin wears his hair short he chose to use the lace all around the perimeter. But if you have a longer style the sides and back aren't as critical and you can get the lace just in front. There is no extra charge for putting lace on a ILace unit.
